I was listening to the radio today and there was a breaking story about a child abduction. The reporter noted that the police considered the suspect "armed and dangerous."

Wouldn't "armed" sort of imply "dangerous?" I mean, has there ever been a situation where the suspect was armed, but not necessarily dangerous?

"...he should be considered armed, but he won't have the balls to pull the trigger, so citizens are encouraged to confront him should the situation arise."

I was driving in North Portland around midnight recently and made some observations. The first observation was that I clearly needed to get the fuck out of North Portland. For those of you who aren't from Portland: Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard is located there.

You know the movie "I Am Legend" is about a black guy who gets attacked by a bunch of really white people after it gets dark outside? I felt like I was in the exact opposite scenario when my lonely white ass was cruising down MLK at midnight. Amazing... I'm in the poorest part of town, yet I seldom saw a car that retailed for under $50k. I even drove past a fancy building that houses the "European Cosmetology Institute." I assure you that I was the only European within a three mile radius.

I'm coming down with some sort of illness. The only bright spot on this situation is that I get to, in good conscience, drink copious amounts of DayQuil. Viva La 'Quil!
